I have a bunch of files which download from a server and I've searched this question on SO and none of the solutions work for me.
My files look like this:
date1_A.gz
date1_B.gz
date1_C.gz
date2_A.gz
date2_B.gz
date2_C.gz
I have two months worth for 10 variables. I want to define what these variables are (such as A, B, C) and push each file into a folder based on what it says in their name. So it would go from my downloads straight into a location with 10 folders where each folder has the files.
I tried to run a for loop which parsed the files and pushed them to a new location:
dir_name = "/Users/mee/Downloads/batch_files"
for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk(dir_name):
for d in dirs:
for file in files:
the_file = os.path.join(subdir, file)
if d in the_file:
new_loc = subdir + '\\' + d + '\\' + file
os.rename(the_file, new_loc)
Ideally, my files would go from my downloads into a directory I make which leads to a folder with 10 folders within it for each different data domain such as A, B, C.
I'd be tempted to construct a dictionary of regexes first, that you can use to categorise your filenamess:
import re
f_matcher = { "typeA" : re.compile("date.*A\.gz"),
"typeB" : re.compile("date.*B\.gz"),
"typeC" : re.compile("date.*C\.gz") }
If you're unsure about using regexes, try regex101 which is a great learning resource for this powerful pattern matching toolkit.
Then define a type-to-folder mapping:
f_folders = { "typeA" : "nas/folder/A",
"typeB" : "nas/folder/B",
"typeC" : "nas/folder/C" }
Define a function to perform the matching:
def match_name(class_d, name, default="typeX"):
for c,r in f_matcher.items():
if r.match(name):
return c
return default
And then, within your loop, extract your filename, and use a subloop or def to perform your tagging - and map that to your predefined list of paths:
f_type = match_name(f_matcher, filename)
new_path = f_folders.get(f_type, "/nas/default/")
Finally,make use of os.path.split
and os.path.join
to reconstruct the filenames you want for your files, and then either construct an os call to move them using os-commands, or using the kind of technique employed here .
